Lumen Energy

Data-driven solar underwriting for building owners

Overview

Lumen Energy provides a platform for building owners and real estate companies to adopt solar energy and reduce energy costs and carbon emissions without upfront capital. It delivers immediate underwriting through data-powered financial models that compare returns across financing options such as cash purchases, loans, PPAs, and community solar. The platform is capital-structure agnostic, meaning it supports various financing setups so clients can choose the best option without being locked into one model. It also includes 24/7 CO2 emissions tracking, energy data collection, and ESG reporting to help monitor performance and streamline compliance. Lumen’s goal is to help clients quickly and confidently advance their clean energy strategy while lowering property management costs and residents’ utility bills.
